    Sweet corn is one of America's -- and the world's -- most favorite vegetables. In this episode, host Joe Lamp'l shows you how to grow sweet corn from seed to stalk. You'll learn the most popular ways to plant corn: either in rows or in hills and you’ll learn why it is important to scatter more corn seed than you really need. At harvest time, you'll discover the secret to picking the perfect ear of corn!

    On the "Homegrown Hint," Joe shows you how to select the best gloves for working in your home garden. From rubber and vinyl to canvas and insulated, you’ll learn to select the right glove for the right gardening chore.
